The benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to alleviate menopausal symptoms can be obtained from HRT derived from plants and from processes that do not require any animal suffering.

"There seems to be
little doubt that women benefit from HRT. They benefit from the
reduction or elimination of unpleasant menopausal symptoms such as hot
flashes and night sweats. They benefit from the reduced cardiovascular
risks resulting from favourable changes in their serum lipids. They also
benefit from the prevention of osteoporotic bone loss and their reduced
risk of bone fractures as they get older. But all these benefits can
also be obtained from HRT derived from plants and from processes that do
not require any animal suffering."--Dennis Cox, Cambridge
